Do you really want the series to continue? I really don't see any of your fears coming. That is of course if the ratings in the manga are not good. Isn't it better to milk more of the story than giving an abrupt ending. Take for example, Naruto's endless fillers in anime and Eva's franchise. As long as the story sells and the author wants to continue, it will continue.
You should stop fearing that it will end. Honestly, you're jinxing it.

okay okay... i wont... lets let the water flow and lets see where it will pool up...

I believe you are overreacting. We've only seen chapter 15, which is all the suspense without the buildup. Allow me to offer something more optimistic.

The Monthly Comic Alive editorial blog mentioned the next tankobon volume of Iris Zero, which is to be released Jan 22, with the cover art also to be found on the authors' official site. Karuho Shiina, mangaka of the hit Shoujo series Kimi ni Todoke, has kindly given a supportive comment to Iris Zero. Karuho seems to be a fan.

Specifically, it's this:

Quote:

「みんな不器用で優しい子たち。
小雪ちゃんと透くんに幸せになってもらいたい中、
篠塚くんも気になるキャラです。
くっ、久賀さんもね!!」

(Translations will be appreciated!)

The first and second volumes are getting extra print runs. With popularity like this and the quality of the writing, I don't think it'll be going down anytime soon.

I'm bad with dialogue. From what I can make out, Koyuki basically said, "I finally learned of how bad the bullying was and why you liked minimal exposure. [Did you not believe him when he told you that earlier?] My iris identifies you as the person who can solve this [Uh... I think that's what she said]. You idiot, why are you so stubborn with your minimal exposure and abandoning us at school? Aren't we your friends?"

Koyuki: "Not seeing and not being able to see are two different things."

Yuki: "What's with you being gone for so long?"
Toru: "I had a cold." <tail>

There's Koyuki being cute and trying to bring him back, but if I don't definitively know what's actually going on and causing him to be out of school, I don't really get the effect. If I don't see Toru struggling with his problems and being in pain over this, which is probably chapter 14, I won't really appreciate him doing a 180 and coming back like that, so I'm just going to forget I read this and wait until volume 3 comes out. It'll probably be better that way. >_>

Another nice chapter, this one is a bit light on the detective work, but the end is pretty sweet. And despite knowing her Iris, I think there's still a lot of secrets behind Kuga...can't wait to see all of them revealed later on. But my greatest laughs comes from the side stories. The cake one is nothing short of funny and sweet (and not just due to the cake) but the other, much more meta one makes me laughs the hardest. Well, it works for Bleach...

So the mystery of what Kuga's iris has been uncovered. Not that big of a deal Iris unlike Asahi's. Also a little fluff at the end...

Can't wait to see how Kuga's sudden personality change that those whose looked in ch15 comes about...

Also got my paws on ch 16...

Spoiler:

Not sure what all the heartfelt things Koyuki said, but toward the end of the chapter Toru is back at school with a fury...

I disagree.

Spoiler for Kuga:

Kuga's Iris can have many applications, one of them being the same power as Asahi's Iris.

If she can see people's emotions based on color, then she can detect a slight change in emotion as well. That allows Kuga to indirectly see other things, like a person's true thoughts and deepest feelings, or when a person is lying. Nearly everyone reacts when they lie, from having nervous ticks that make it really obvious to just having a slight change in heart rate and pulse. Kuga will be able to tell if someone is hiding something by their emotions.

Also, because Kuga can see emotions, she can effectively wage psychological warfare and tell when it works. For example... she could... I dunno, bully Toru and know that he's shaken up, even if he lies and pretends he's perfectly okay.

Spoiler:

Until you meet someone whose in control of their emotions then your screwed while Asahi's is 100% guaranteed...

This series has become all sorts of awesome for me, and Chapter 9 was no exception. Though like others have said, a lot of the laughs came from the side stories. I burst out laughing when Toru drops the fork and was like, "WHY WASN'T I BORN A WOMAN!?!?!?!?" . Definitely can't wait for more.

lol that was just too hilarious, I would never have thought Toru had this side to him and Koyuki was just as adorable as always.
Gotta admit a little odd seeing a male lead with a sweet tooth.

Fortunately for Toru, he hasn't played Portal. He would be devastated that the cake is a lie(or is it?) .

Anyway, chap 9 was another good chapter. Really like the mystery-solving elements despite the premise of the manga. I also am not sure where everyone is getting suspicious of Kuga. She hasn't done anything out of the ordinary that would make her seem strange, but perhaps people have seen past chap 9.
